The GRAMMY Foundation and its GRAMMY Signature Schools Community Award program are partnering with Converse and Journeys to provide 16 public high schools across the United States with $2,000 cash grants to support their music programs. This initiative is part of the GRAMMY in the Schools offerings and is supported in part by Converse and Journeys, as well as the Ford Motor Company Fund.

"Our GRAMMY Signature Schools Community Award program evolved out of our established GRAMMY Signature Schools program," said Kristen Madsen, Senior Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation. "The generosity of Converse and Journeys has allowed this initiative — and the music programs of the schools it benefits — to flourish. Since the program's inception, approximately $700,000 in grants has been distributed to close to 350 schools, and the impact we have seen has been profound and lasting."

The following eight schools will receive $2,000 cash grants this fall, and the remaining eight schools will be announced in 2014.
